Cloud Database Instance Parameters

Quick Facts

Here are some important facts to consider when creating a new instance:

The length of the instance name is limited to 255 characters and any
characters are permitted.

You can create a database instance with one or more databases.
Databases and users can be configured when you create the instance
or at a later time.

Each database can have an unlimited number of users associated
with it.

The default binding for the MySQL instance is port 3306.

Accessibility

For enhanced security, database instances are directly accessible on the
internal Rackspace Network and by using a Cloud resource within the same
regional data center. For example, a database instance in DFW can only
be accessed by a Cloud Server in DFW. For more information, see Public
